Chapter 243: The Boss Asked Me to Go Down the Mountain as an Undercover Agent
"Times are tough these days, but we still have a legitimate business in the fort, and there are people willing to look after us. Let's be happy. Otherwise, why would we scratch our faces and go up the mountain to hang out with those people?" He concluded, "Don't do anything that annoys the young master."
Someone murmured, "Once the eldest daughter gets married, the rest of the Tian family won't care whether we live or die."
As we were chatting, someone came in from behind the straw curtain, bending over.
As soon as he entered the house, he brought in a gust of cold air. He rubbed his hands and leaned against the fire. He looked around at everyone and asked, "Have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
A group of people were puzzled.
"It is said that there is a man among these fugitives who can communicate with gods."
“…………”
After a moment of silence.
"Forget it, you believe this stuff too."
"Throwing rocks at him made him stupid, I see."
"It seems... there really is one."
Amidst the laughter, one voice was particularly clear, and suddenly, the house fell silent.
Cheng Ye patrolled the surroundings late at night and found that some people in the village were secretly approaching the escorts and some fugitives.
The sneaky actions are very similar to those of the Chai family in Dongbohou Mansion.
He remained silent, observed for a while, and reported this insignificant situation to Xiong Jiushan.
Xiong Jiushan was wearing an outer coat and drawing a topographic map at his desk.
"Sir, can I go and knock on the door?"
Xiong Jiushan stared at the river on the paper and responded.
"Tell the villagers clearly that whether they want money or things, we can discuss it, but don't bother with female prisoners."
Soon, the official's intention spread throughout the village.
In the darkness, the group of people were very depressed.
“They misunderstood.”
"Don't blame the police for misunderstanding. They look so sneaky, I want to pull their ears when I see them."
"What should we do? Should we still go and ask?"
The air was quiet again. After an unknown amount of time, one of them hesitated for a moment and broke the silence.
"That bandit boss in the mountain valley is always after our young lady. If there really is someone with supernatural powers among those prisoners, can we ask him for a little favor?"
"What's too little help?"
"It doesn't matter if you're missing arms and legs, blind and dumb, or if you can't rob any girls, it's all fine!"
It's late at night.
Outside the Xie family's thatched cottage, a black shadow rushed into the haystack and wiped out its trace in an instant.
Xie Yuchuan was in the thatched hut, resting his head on his arms and preparing to "communicate" before going to sleep.
He only heard a series of intermittent long and short sounds coming from outside. He closed his eyes and silently counted seven or eight times.
"Hezhi?" The voice was low and unclear.
But Xie Wuying heard it, and without moving, he turned his head and said hoarsely, straining his vocal cords: "Sixth brother, what's the matter?"
"Go outside to relieve yourself."
"ah?!!!"
Xie Wuying was slightly stunned. Xie Wenjie, who was standing beside him, heard the noise and quietly recommended himself, "Sixth brother, how about I go? I was just about to report to the official that I need to go to the toilet."
"You can't. It's not suitable."
As soon as Xie Yuchuan said this, the two brothers immediately understood that there must be something special going on outside.
Xie Wuying stood up, and Xie Wenjie looked up at him, and an idea flashed in his mind.
"Sixth brother, why don't I join you? We can keep each other company." It would be better for them to cover for each other.
Since Xie Yuchuan didn't object, Xie Wenjie understood that Sixth Brother had agreed.
The two brothers went out together. The two guards watched them walk forward for a while. Seeing that the two brothers had indeed come out to solve personal problems, they continued to chat with each other about the previous topic.
Xie Wenjie helped Xie Wuying keep an eye on the officials, and both of them were a little confused about Xie Yuchuan's intentions.
Now that they are out, what’s next?
Xie Wuying bent down and pretended to go to the toilet, but he didn't even make two or three "hmm" sounds.
A hand reaches out from the darkness...
Before he could even react, he was pulled to the bottom of the pit behind a tree root.
"Don't shout! I'm Han Qiguang."
Xie Wenjie almost broke down when he heard Han Qiguang's name.
Soon, Xie Wenjie and Xie Wuying beside him started arguing with each other for some unknown reason, and they ended up going into the thatched cottage.
"Xie Wuying" sat down in front of Xie Yuchuan.
"Xie Yuheng, you're quite capable! You're blessed with a long life and great abilities. It's said everywhere that you can communicate with gods."
Next to them, several guards who were also awake sat up curiously when they heard the familiar voice and the face that was familiar but had a different tone.
Xie Changan grew up in the Duke's Mansion.
This sound...
This tone...
He was unsure and asked tentatively, "Master Han?"
Han Qiguang turned around and saw him, revealing his big white teeth, and smiled with that "Xie Wuying" face that made people's spines tingle.
"Little Chang'an! You've worked hard following your Sixth Young Master."
"It's not hard, it's not hard, I'm happy."
"To make a long story short, the night is long and dreams are many." Xie Yuchuan said in a deep voice, "He Zhi is still outside."
"Don't worry, I can still strip him of his clothes and freeze him to death."
After meeting in broad daylight, Xie Yuchuan guessed that Han Qiguang would definitely find an opportunity to find him.
Han Qiguang gave a secret signal and asked He Zhi, who was of similar stature to him, to meet him. Sure enough, Han Qiguang disguised himself as Xie Wuying and got past the guards.
Han Qiguang didn't have much time left, so he cut to the chase and spoke directly to Xie Yuchuan.
"A group of people from Beijing came to the den of thieves on the hill behind Panlong Ridge and promised them a lot of good things. Now they are all drunk and dreaming in there."
Xie Yuchuan pondered inwardly with a gloomy look in his eyes.
"How do you know?"
"Hey, this isn't a problem. That thief boss is a bit superstitious. As someone who has practiced Taoism, I can help him predict good and bad luck. Isn't that a piece of cake?"
"With such ability, why don't you uncover that den of thieves?"
"I've been waiting for you." If he could take care of that "big family" by himself, would there be any need to do this?
"Why did you come down the mountain?" Xie Yuchuan asked.
Han Qiguang smiled and said, "The boss asked me to come down and find a way to sneak into your exile team to get 'that kind' of information."
Xie Yuchuan: "..."
Other members of the Xie family: “…………”
Han Qiguang spoke a little quickly, pouring out beans from a bamboo tube, and discussed several urgent and difficult matters with Xie Yuchuan.
Before leaving, he took Xie Wenjie to go to the toilet again.
Xie Huaizhang, who was forced to accompany the girl once, watched awkwardly but gracefully as he experienced the "disguise technique" that he had only heard of but never seen.
After an incense stick of time, the real Xie Wuying, with a rosy face, happily returned to his thatched hut with his brother Xie Wenjie.
Several guards took turns coming up and staring at his face, fearing that he would be deceived again.
"Are you the real Master Wuying?"
"nonsense!"
“It’s true!”
Xie Wuying was speechless. "How come we've been eating and living together for so many days, and we still can't tell the real thing from the fake?"
"Master Han is so amazing."
"Master Wuying, it's winter, and you've been stripped by Master Han. It's freezing outside, isn't your bottom freezing?"
"I'll hit you, me!"
Xie Yuchuan interrupted, "Did Han Qiguang bring anyone with him?"
Xie Wuying said seriously, "I brought them! I saw seven or eight more people outside. The people Young Master Han brought were very nice to me."
Xie Yuchuan nodded to show that he understood.
"I have no way to repay you, so I gave them the small bag of snowflake salt that Young Master Han forgot to 'steal' when he was changing his clothes."
